Verifying against the live site and live WHOIS/DNS…
Common questions
Is scriptsocket.com legit or a scam?
AboutUs doesn't label sites "legit" or "a scam": this page lists the dated registration, DNS, HTTPS, mail-authentication and safety checks we could verify, each with its source, so you can decide for yourself.
Who owns scriptsocket.com?
Nobody has completed AboutUs's owner verification for scriptsocket.com. That's true of most sites here — it isn't itself a warning sign.

The site is operated by Mark Berman and is based in Pokeno, Auckland, New Zealand.

AboutUs has not vetted this site. Everything below is what we could measure automatically. Anything you do on the site — paying, sharing personal details, downloading — is between you and the site, not AboutUs.
Current facts
Latest available measurements; dated entries retain their dates. These are measurements, not an endorsement of the site.
latest result
Domain registered Oct 7, 2005 — 21 years old.
latest result
Registrar on record: Tucows Domains Inc. — unchanged since AboutUs began tracking (Jul 26, 2026).
We withhold an authority number until independent evidence (global rank, link-graph presence) has accrued. The facts we do have about this site are shown below — we'd rather say “not enough signals yet” than invent a low score.
Safety evidence
No unexpired threat-feed result; name-similarity check available (recorded about 71 days ago); 3/3 transport and email checks available (oldest recorded about 71 days ago). This is evidence coverage, not a probability that a website is safe.
